Graphic & Interactive Design

Graphic & Interactive Design

The Graphic & Interactive Design Associate in Science (A.S.) degree program is a two-year program that prepares you
to go directly into a specialized career in print design, branding, advertising design,
web design and/or interactive design.

As a graphics student, you’ll learn what it means to kern type, crop photos, and “lose
the widows.” From design thinking to the creative process, our students receive hands-on
experience and learn employable skills that prepare them to enter directly into a
career with competitive portfolios. With a trusted reputation in the Orlando creative
industry, we pride ourselves in educating some of the most talented designers in Central
Florida. Our students have received recognition in local, regional, national and even
international competitions. Their accomplishments include over 100 ADDY Awards, Florida
Print Awards, the Create Awards, the ONE Show, Print Magazine and Siggraph.

Orlando boasts a wide-reaching and wildly diverse graphics arts community. Designers
here are very well connected to one another and to their thriving Orlando community.

Starting With Creative Excellence

Perhaps part of the reason why many local employers are impressed and hire our graduates
is because we understand what the industry expects from graduates. Real world experience
combined with reinforcing various employable skills ranging from the creative process,
design thinking, visual communication, and knowing the tools needed to execute their
ideas, all make Valencia's Graphic & Interactive Design program a great start for
anyone seeking to start right in a creative career.
